diene
Two double bonds
A diene is an organic compound containing two carbon-carbon double bonds.
Dienes are classified by the arrangement of these bonds: conjugated dienes have alternating single and double bonds, cumulated dienes have adjacent double bonds, and isolated dienes have bonds separated by multiple single bonds.
Conjugated dienes like butadiene are important in polymer chemistry, forming the basis of synthetic rubber.
